...history will judge Kaepernick ultimately not as a rogue and defiant objector, but a man ahead of this time who helped spur an important athlete revolution

That's your interpretation. Mine is that he's a self-centered grandstander who doesn't appreciate what's been given to him by this country or the fans who used to support him. Personally, I think much of this was initially done to appease his leftist girlfriend. In the end, I don't care what his motivations are. His lack of respect for the country and its flag means I did not, nor would I, watch any team that had him on their bench. While my little protest goes unnoticed, I think there are millions of other fans who feel much the same.

If the future of sport is one of brainless athletes calling their fanbase bigoted racists amid showy displays of disrespect for the country, sport doesn’t have much of a future. Which would be a good thing.

Eliminating all paid, professional sport would be one of the best things that could possibly happen in this world.

At what point will his skanky broad see him for the loser he is, and drop him like the fans have? She probably shopped for the socks and tee shirt, and ordered him to wear them. He’s a gutless, spineless dupe.
